COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION DOCUMENT RELATING TO AID, MILITARY AND ECONOMIC, PROVIDED TO THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF VIET NAM
In mid-November, 1965, a source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, advised as follows:
As of early November, 1965, the Central Committee, pase f Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), had prepared and available a detailed document relating to.aid, both military and economic, which had been rendered to the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam (DRV) since 1953. This document carried a classification of "Secret" and was not allowed out of the control of the Central Committee, CPSU representative to whom it was entrusted. Although certain selected leading Comrades, as representatives of Communist or Workers Parties from other countries visiting in Moscow on official business, were allowed to review the content of this document, no notes were to be made from the document by the individuals authorized to review it; however, it has been learned that the following information, in essence, appeared in this document:
During the period extending from 1953 to 1964 the Soviet Union had provided more than 200,000,000 rubles in free aid to the DRV. This aid has consisted of aircraft, helicopters, ammunition, anti-aircraft weapons, artillery, tanks, PT boats, communication equipment and the like. In 1963 the Soviet Union set up a complete radio communication System for the DRV and also established military and officer training schools for then.
Following the Gulf of Tonkin incident in the Summer of 1964 the Soviet Union provided 32,000,000 rubles of additional aid plus 15,600,000 rubles worth of anti-aircraft weapons and _ rockets to the DRV. As a part of this commitment for additional aid, the Soviet Union also agreed to send specialists to the DRV in order to train the Vietnamese in the handling of these new weapons. TOP RET
CLOSURE, eo Σ »οφ,. SIN
ΤΟ CRET
The Soviet Union also suggested a plan to the DRY for the establishment of units to cover Hanoi's defense against air raids and made an offer of modern. weapons for this purpose including radar, etc. The Soviet Union offered to include entire Soviet crews to operate such weapons. Initially, the DRV agreed to the suggestion of the Soviet Union, but later followed it with a request that "no full crews" be provided and that the Soviet Union. just. provide instructors for these new anti-aircraft and other weapons for a period of three to six months only. On this point, the Vietnamese gave into the pressures of the Chinese. In regard to aircraft interceptor crews, the Soviet Union offered to provide the DRV with.its latest fighter planes and crews and offered to train DRV crews in the field of battle. The DRV, however, just wanted the Soviet Union to provide the aircraft and train ithe DRV crews in the USSR and then permit the trained crews to fly these planes back ‘to the DRY, The Soviet Union agreed to this request.
| In February, 1965, another 150,000,000 rubles in material aid was granted to the DRV. Following this grant,
a delegation from the Soviet Union went to the DRV to work
out a method of delivéry for this aid. The question of increased aid had been raised earlier by De Duan, First Secretary of the Working Peoples Party of Viet Nam, who
headed up a DRV delegation which had met for discussions in: Moscow with representatives of the Soviet Union. Following this the Soviet Union made a grant of an additional 145,000,000 rubles in military aid and this was given gratis. This addi- tional aid included all sorts of armaments and included an agreement for the building of airports or air fields, hangars and related installations. During the talks of February, 1965, ‘the Soviet Union had also agreed to replace or rebuild 120 kilometers of damaged and bombed railroads, to rebuild bridges, power stations and.similar installations which had been destroyed. This aid was also gratis and not included in pre- vious military aid grants.
Altogether, the Soviet Union has now agreed to a total of 480,500,000 rubles in military aid for the DRV with over 300,000,000 rubles of such aid having been delivered in the last few. months.
-2- TOp-BEERET
As to econonle aid, 317,000,000 rubles worth was granted by the various socialist countries to the DRV during the period 1955-1964, Of this total 95,000,000 rubles worth was given gratis. 40% of the total economic aid to the DRV came from the Soviet Union and 72% of this consisted of complete plants shipped from the Soviet Union. 70% of the Soviet Union aid furnished to the DRV to date has been in heavy industry, With the help of the Soviet Union, it was hoped that by 1967 185 new plants would have been set up in the DRV. As of the present time 85 such plants are in operation. To assist in the economic development of the DRV, the Soviet Union has, in total, sent 2,148 Soviet specialists to the DRV since 1955,
During the year 1963-1964 there were 3,100 Vietnamese | undergraduate students studying in institutions of higher learning in the Soviet Union, At the present time there are 2,500 such Students, The difference reflected in these figures indicates the number of such undergraduate students who have now completed Studies in the Soviet Union and returned to the DRY,
In connection with economic loans to the DRV, the interest in most cases has been deferred by the Soviet Union. In thoseinstances where interest was presently due, it has in main been cancelled,
In regard to trade between the USSR and the DRV, this amounted to a total of 49,200,000 rubles in 1962. Today this figure is 62,500,000 rubles and consists mainly of heavy machinery.
On May 31, 1965, Ho Chi Minh, Chairman of the tforking Peoples Party of Viet Nam and President of the DRY, expressed his personal “thanks” to the Soviet Union and its people for the material aid which had been rendered to them. Le Thanh Neghi, member of the Politburo, Central Committee, Working Peoples Party of Viet Nam, on June 9, 1965, expressed to First Secretary Leonid I, Brezhnev the thanks of the Viet Nam people for the valuable aid. provided by the Soviet Union to the South Vietnamese through the DRY. He also expressed thanks for the medical supplies and the like which had been received as direct aid from the citizens of: the Soviet Union. Many such messages of thanks and appreciation had been received by the CPSU and the Government of the Soviet Union from the DRY,

POSSIBLE FUTURE MEETING OF INTERNATIONAL COMMUNIST MOVEMENT
In mid-November, 1965, a source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, advised as follows:
Mikhail Suslov, a Secretary of the Central Committee, Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), in early November, 1965, stated that there were no present plans to call any international meeting of world Communist and Workers Parties within the foreseeable future. At the present time, according to Susiov, the CPSU is preoccupied with its preparations for the XXIII Congress which is now scheduled to open in Moscow, USSR, on March 28, 1966. While no special documents are being drawn up in preparation for the XXIII Congress of the CPSU, Suslov noted that discussions at this Congress will be based on decisions made at the XXII Congress of the CPSU and
‘the last two Party Plenuns.
When: the AXIII Congress of the CPSU is actually held, Suslov noted that the various Communist and Workers Parties will be invited to send fraternal delegations. Such fraternal delegations will be limited in size with a probable maximum of four individuals to such delegations. This maximum limit will apply to all Comnunist and Workers Parties, including the Communist Party, USA.

While in Bucharest, Romania, Winter met with a member of the Politburo of North Vietnam. This official, in his conversation, constantly reiterated statements that North Vietnam had always been victorious and would eventually defeat the United States, however, it was evidont that he did not believe what ho was saying,
Winter was amazed at this official's lack of knowledge about the United States. The North Vietnanese official admitted his ignorance and, in turn, was amazed ‘by things Winter pointed out concerning functions of the United States as.a country and as a-.government, Among these itens were the following:
The North Vietnamese official could not understand that the Central Intelligence Agency does not control United States Government. He could not understand that President Johnson is not a member or representative of a large corporation such ag General Motors, General Electric ‘ard DuPont. It appeared that all this individual knew about the United States was restricted to what had appeared in propaganda sheets during the past 50 years. The official appreciated information furnished by Winter, listened care~ fully, made copious notes and requested that additional information explaining everything about the United States 85 a country, how it is governed and how it functions be sent to North Vietnam by the -CPUSA.
Mongolian People's Republic (Outer Mo colia) While abroad Winter visited in the Mongolian
People's Republic (MPR) and talked to the First Secretary of the Communist Party of the HPR. Winter learned the
following during this talk:
MPR relations with Communist China havo been extremely strained. The Chinese Communists have withdrawn 12,000 laborers who had been sent to tho MPR to build

INFORMAL DISCUSSION WITH ANTONIN NOVOTNY, FIRST SECRETARY, COMMUNIST PARTY OF CZECHOSLOVAKIA, OCTOBER, 1965, ON INTERNATIONAL SITUATION
In mid-November, 1965, a source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, advised as follows:
During the latter part of October, 1965, Antonin νοι, President of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and First.Secretary_of the Central Committee..ofthe..Com- munist Party of Czechoslovakia (CPCZ), participated in an infornal discussion “involving representatives of the Communist Party, USA (CP, USA) as well as a representative of the Hungarian Socialist ‘Workers Party. The initial discussion generally related to the international situation and specifically to the situation in Vietnam. In opening this informal discussion, one of the participating CP, USA representatives stated that the position of his Party in regard to Vietnam had been clearly set out in recent reports on the subject given by Gus Hall, General Secretary of the CP, USA, in which Hall stated the CP, USA believed that under the present conditions it was no longer possible for the South Vietnamese National Liberation Front (NLF) to achieve a mili- tary victory against the United States in South Vietnam and that efforts should now be sought to achieve a political victory by the NLF through negotiation.
Novotny, who.previously had benefit of the full reports of Hall on the CP, USA position regarding Vietnan, noted that we hold this same position and do not argue with you. Sooner or later we feel that the NLF will have to negotiate, However, for the socialist countries to raise this matter of negotiation at this time is a very difficult problem and,if done, the motivation for raising it could be

misinterpreted by the Chinese as well as the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV). The CPCZ also realizes that the CP, USA is also in a very difficult position on this matter of negotiation and that it would not be feasible for the CP, USA to raise this as a slogan. In view of this, we, in the socialist countries, must wait for a decision of the NLF and the DRV on this question of negotiations and in the meantime supply them with as much help and assistance as we can,
. In response to the inquiry as to whether there had '-been some improvement in the relations between the Czecho- Slovak Socialist Republic and the United States based on the recent official discussions carried on between the two govern- ments and the recent opening of direct Pan American flights from New York to. Prague, Novotny noted the following:
We are not really anxious at this time to increase official exchanges with the United States. While Pan American Airlines has now instituted direct flights to Czechoslovakia, Pan American Airlines is not sure that it will continue them although it did recently extend these flights for an additional period of time. We, ourselves, do not know for sure if we will institute our own flights to New York and there are several reasons for this. First ofall, there has been ἃ worsening of the international situation and, secondly, we are not certain. of the capability of our aircraft to under- take such flights and equipment which would be available for this use.
In regard to the talks.and negotiations which have been carried. out with the United States, Novotny stated, "Do you think that they did one single concrete thing to improve ‘our relations or even offer to sign one agreement? They did not," ει
As to the two-day visit of Leonid I. Brezhnev, First Secretary, Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), to Czechoslovakia, Novotny stated that "this was nothing." Such leaders, he remarked, visit socialist countries more fre- quently these days for informa] talks and consultations.

ERNESTO: "CHE" GUEVARA
In mid-November, 1965, a source, ‘who has furnished reliable information in the past, advised as follows:
In discussions with leading representatives of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), which were held during late October and early November, 1965, these indi- viduals expressed total ignorance as. to the current status and present whereabouts of Ernesto "Che" Guevara, formerly a highly placed individual in the Cuban.Government and in the United Party of the Socialist Revolution, which is now | ‘known as the Communist Party of Cuba. Specifically, Mikhail Suslov, a Secretary of the Central Committee, CPSU, remarked that Premier Fidel Castro of Cuba had declined to provide any information on Guevara.
In this same connection, .V. G. Korianov, Chief Deputy to. Boris N,.. Ponomarev, Head of the. International Department, Central Comnittee, CPSU, remarked, "The Cuban leadership has. told us nothing regarding Guevara. If ‘they had told us anything in confidence, we would not be able to tell you anyway, but they have not explained to us his disappearance."

never did contact CASTRO. After waiting the aforesaid two weeks to make contact with CASTRO, WINTER then
made contact with ARMANDO HART,. the new Secretary of Organization of the Cuban CP, who replaced “ORGOMEZ". HART then arranged ‘that WINTER’ Confer with BLAS ROCA, member of the Secretariat of the Cuban cP, who according to WINTER, is inimical toward the American ‘Party in general, and to GUS HALL in particular.

According to BLAS ROCA, the CP,USA leadership does not recognize either in its published documents or in the speeches of its leaders that cuba is "the first country of socialism" in this hemisphere, ROCA stated that in his opinion it was about time that the CP,USA did recognize Cuba as the first country of socialisn.
WINTER further stated that in the organization of the new National committee of the cuban cP there are few old time comuunists in top level positions. There are some who are on the National Committee, but none is a member of the Politburo.
WINTER Gid succeed in arranging contact between the Cuban leadership and the OP, USA, opening a channel for communication via the UN. WINTER will try to open this channel in December. WINTER and HART, abovementioned, made arrangementa whereby the CP, USA will send to Cuba a selected youth delegation cmsisting of only five delegates, Initial arrangements regarding this delegation will be made in Deceniber via the UN channel aforementioned. WINTER also made arrangements with ‘Cuban CP leaders that they translate into Spanish and print all literature sent to them from International Publishers, and that royalties be sent to International Publishers for material sent to the Cuban cP.
_ With regard to BEATRICE JOHNSON, CP, USA liaison in Cuba, WINTER stated that he had ‘met her in Moscow and that she had requested that he advise the CP, USA that she could be more effective in her operations if she could travel throughout Latin America. She suggested that the CP, USA give her permission to go to Mexico and to marry a Mexican, as a result of whic he sould obtain a Mexican passport, which would perm er to travel. (NY 694-S* noted that GUS HALL, commenting with respect to this suggestion of BEATRICE JOHNSON, stated that under no circumstances would she be permitted to marry a Mexican for the aforesaid purpose),
a -
NY 100~134637
Further, according to CARL WINTER, he made an agreement with the Cuban CP whereby the Cuban CP and the CP, USA would organize "an anti~imperlalist -center", According to WINTER, this matter 1s currently being discussed among the CP, USA leaders. WINTER furnished no further details regarding this matter,
| WINTER commented ‘that when he had reported to GUS HALL that he had been unable to contact FIDEL CASTRO while in Cuba, GUS HALL "blew his top" and castigated — CASTRO. |
_ ' WINTER also stated that when he was in Bucharest attending the Rumanian Party Congress, he conferred with one "Ty Duc", a North Vietnamese Politburo member who is traveling in eastern and western Europe in behalf of HO CHI MINH, President of North Vietnam. According to WINTER, his conversation with "TU DUC" was stereotyped in that "tu puc" "harped" on the point that North Vietnam always has been victorious and eventually will defeat the USA. WINTER said it was evident that "fu Duc" did not believe what he wassaying about the inevitable victory of North Vietnam. WINTER was amazed at "Ducts" lack of knowledge and understanding of the US. The leader admitted his ignorance and was amazed by some of ‘the things explained to him concerning functions of the USA as a country and as a government. He did not under- gtand that CIA 15 not part of the US Government.” To him, “GIX is" part of it; and controls Atv-"when He learned from WINTER that CIA plays an independent role and often 4s criticized by the government, he was amazed. He | listened very carefully to what WINTER told him and made copious notes. |
"ry DUC" could not understand that President JOHNSON is not a member or representative of any large copporation, such as General Motors, General Electric or Dupont. To him, anyone who is President of the USA must have come from a large corporation. what he knew: about the USA was restricted ‘to what had appeared in propaganda sheets during the past 50 years.

the information given him by WINTER and: requested that the latter send to the North Vietnam central Committee everything and anything explaining what kind of country the USA is and how it is governed and

WINTER, while abroad, visited Outer Mongolia and while there spent some time with the First Secretary of the Outer Mongolian CP. He did not identify this Andividual by name. According to WINTER, he had been invited to spend a vacation in Outer Mongolia. He atated that the Outer Mongolian relationship with the Chinese has been extremely strained; the Chinese, as reported to him by the Outer Mongolian ΟΡ official above- mentioned, had withdrawn 12,000 laborers that had been sent to Outer Mongolia to build factories, etc. As a result of this "walkout", Outer Mongolia had been left | “in the lurch". the Outer Mongolian GP official further . had told WINTER that in Inner Mongolia the Chinese are colonizing, sending large numbers of Chinese to be absorbed ‘into Inner Mongolia, which interfers# with Inner Mongolian political and economic life. The Inner Mongoliand resent this state of affairs and many of them are running away to Mongolia, As reported to WINTER by the abovementioned Outer Mongolian cP functionary, ‘Inner Mongolia's opposition to China is very atrong and Inner Mongolia is 100% pro-Soviet.

TRAVEL OF VITALY KORIANOV AND NIKOLAT V. MOSTOVETS, MEMBERS OF THE INTERNATIONAL
DEPARTMENT, CENTRAL COMMITTEE, COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION, TO CHILE AND
URUGUAY, OCTOBER, 1965
In mid-November, 1965, a source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, advised as follows:
Vitaly Korianov, Chief Deputy to Boris N. Ponomarev, a Secretary of the Central Committee, Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). and Head of the International Department, together with Nikolai V. Mostovets, Head of the North and South American Section, International Department, Central Con- nittee, CPSU, during October, 1965, traveled to Chile and then to Uruguay. In Chile, they met President Eduardo Frei Montalua and were greeted by him as an official Soviet dele- gation to Chile. Later, Korianov and Mostovets both parti- cipated, as a fraternal. delegation from the CPSU, in the Thirteenth Congress of the Communist Party (CP) of Chile which convened in Santiago, Chile, on October 11, 1965.
In connection with the Thirteenth Congress of the CP of Chile, Korianov had the following comments to make:
This Congress was attended by fraternal delegations of all CPs in the Western Hemisphere, including the CP, USA, CP of Canada, and the CP of Guadeloupe. All of the Parties of the socialist countries were represented by fraternal delegations and there were many delegations from CPs of West Europe countries as well as from.the CP ofAustralia. One of the most popular fraternal delegations present was that from the CP, USA ‘led by Henry Winston, and this delegation received the most applause from the Congress next to that from the CPSU,

DEPARTMENT, CENTRAL COMMITTEE, COMMUNIST
PARTY OF THE SOVIET ts TO CHILE AND.
URUGUAY, OCTOBER, 1965
While the Congress was: in session, the bourgeois Chilean press became “alarmed” by it and started. raising the question, "Who is, guilty of creating the situation so that Chile may.become a second Cuba?" The press also raised the question "Why did the Chilean Government allow all of these communists into Chile?" As a result of these ‘bourgeois press charges, the Frei Government was charged with being weak in allowing this situation to exist and demands were being made for a change in the Chilean Govern- ment. ;
Following Korianov and Mostovets’ travel to Chile, they proceeded to Uruguay following which they returned to the Soviet Union in early November, 1965.

he was present on the first day for the opening of the Conference and was present for the full time during which BORIS N, PONOMAREV, a Secretary of the Central Committee, CP of the Soviet Union, delivered the main speech to the Congress on the topic, "Historical Lessons of the Seventh Congress and Present Day.'' Source noted, however, that PONOMAREV's speech was, within several days, ‘factually and fully reported in "Pravda," official organ of the CP of
᾿ the Soviet Union,and subsequently was translated into
English and appeared in "The Daily Review, Translations from the Soviet Press,” issued by Novosti Press Agency, Moscow, in Volume 11, No. 252, Monday, 10/25/65. ‘In addi- ‘tion, this same volume of "The Daily Review, Translations
from the Soviet Press” carried excerpts from other speeches
that had been delivered by participants at the Conference on succeeding days of 10/22-23/65, "The Daily Review, Translations from the Soviet Press" is mae available in the West and frequently circulated to subscribers. In addition,
CG 5824-S* advised that when this three-day Conference — officially concluded, it was announced by G, P, FRANTSOV,
Editor-in-Chief of the “World Marxist Review,'! that certain of the speeches would be published in ‘the next issue of ‘the “World Marxist Review" and later they would print in full all ‘the speeches in a separate hook. In view of this infor- mation, CG 5824-S* noted that he made no concerted effort in an attempt ‘to seek out from others who had been present at this Conference a fillmin on ‘the speeches which he had
missed.
in view of ‘the above, the enclosed letterhead memo- randum contains only the general background information per- taining to this Conference celebrating the Thirtieth Anni- versary of the Seventh Congress of the Communist International
which was developed by the source through his attendance at
the Conference and through reviews of "Pravda" and "The Daily

There is being enclosed herewith for the Bureau and

The Conference was formally opened as scheduled by Vladimir Koucky who extended greetings to.all those present ‘on behalf of the CPCZ. He listed the various. CPs present and countries which they represented and remarked: that in addition ‘to: those he had noted there were several. from Africa ‘participating but whose Parties were outlawed. ‘Following this, Koucky, in essence, made the following remarks:
The basic ideas as set forth in .the: Moscow Declaration of 1957 and in the Moscow Statement of 1960 still serve as a. guide to action in this period although there are now some new conditions in the world Situation which affect the inter- national movement,
The Seventh Congress of the Communist International which we are commenorating on this occasion was one devoted to the fight against fascism and to ‘the development of the
united front. The Seventh Congress emphasized the: following:
1) A struggle against imperialist war--an effort to avoid war and fascist aggression;
2) Development of the struggle for peace and democracy and the necessity to show the interconnection of this}; "

5) Developed the idea of peaceful transition to socialisn.
In total, the Seventh Congress gave the interna- tional movement a principled approach to world communist unity.
Following Koucky's opening greetings and remarks, the Conference then devoted the remainder of all its time to speeches and discussions by the participants. The first such speech and the major one of the Conference was that of Boris N. Ponomarev, ἃ Secretary of the Central Committee, CPSU.
At the final session, G. P. Frantsov, Editor-in- Chief of the "World Marxist Review," on behalf of the publica- tion, spoke to the group and in essence remarked as follows:
We wish to express our gratitude to the various Parties for their participation in this anniversary meeting. This meeting has shown us that joint discussionsare useful and do:consolidate the world movement and its internationalism. We have learned here also that the Seventh Congress as a his- torical event has not diminished in importance. The Seventh Congress showed us how to'win majorities. It has. been a long road since the Seventh Congress and we are still fighting imperialism.
Frantsov concluded his remarks by noting that all. speeches will be published, some in a future issue of the magazine, and subsequently all later in book form.
In closing this meeting, Vladimir Koucky again ‘took the floor and on behalf of the CPCZ noted that the Conference had now come to the end of its work and stated that most of us feel that this meeting has been most useful. While some people were afraid that such a meeting might "tie our hands," they have been proven wrong. This Conference has shown that we should meet more frequently for such Con- ferences and have exchanges of opinions between our Parties.

POSSIBLE VISIT TO UNITED STATES
IN NEAR FUTURE BY NIKOLAI .V. MOSTOVETS, HEAD OF THE NORTH. AND SOUTH AMERICAN SECTION, INTERNATIONAL DEPARTMENT, CENTRAL COMMITTEE, COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION
During November, 1965, a source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, advised as follows:
In early November, 1965, it was learned that Nikolai V. Mostovets, Head of the North and South American Section, International Department, Central Committee (CC), Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), was planning for a possible trip to the United States in the near future. Mostovets had originally planned to travel to the United States in late October or early November, 1964, but this trip was postponed until at least April, 1965,. due to the upheaval in the USSR following the removal of Nikita 5, Khrushchev from his positions of leadership in the USSR. Up to the present time, Mostovets' trip has not materialized, but he anticipates that it may be arranged in the near future.

SOVIET VIEWS ON VIETNAM
Comminist parties known to be oriented toward the Soviet Union cannot openly support negotiations at this tine because Communist China would declare such action was being taken on the instructions of the Soviet Union and would utilize this misinterpretation in its polemics against the Soviet Union,
| However, if the Soviet Union is subjected to more | pressure from other communist parties, the Soviet Union may be able to use its influence to get North Vietnam to cease
engaging in the struggie in Vietnam although it may not be
possible to influence, in any way, the National Liberation
Front of South Vietnan, :
The Communist Party of the Soviet Union agrees that statements made by leaders of Communist ‘China, that they will deal a crushing military defeat to the United States, are stupid, provocative and hurt the anti-imperialist movenent,
The Soviet Union agrees with the Vietnamese comrades that the time for negotiations is not "ripe" only because these comrades gay that the time is not "ripe." It should be noted that the conrades in Victnam are subjected to a lot of pressure from ‘Conmunist China and the Chinese may be the ones who will decide when the time for negotiations is "ripe" or perhaps that the time will nevor be “ripe.” The comrades in Vietnam do not teil the Soviets everything. They held talks with Communist China but did not advise the Soviet Union what Communist China had to ‘say about Vietnam, It is known that Communist China holds the position that the 17th parallel does not divide North and ‘South Vietnam, The Soviet Union does not agree with this position and believes that this attitude does not help the eituation, ‘but there is nothing that can be done about it at

LOUIS AND ROSE WEINSTOCK, FORMER AMERICANS NOW PERMANENTLY RESIDING IN BUDAPEST,. HUNGARY
In mid-November, 1965, a source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, advised as follows:
Louis Weinstock, a former leading functionary of the Communist Party, USA (CP, USA), is now permanently re- Siding in Budapest, Hungary, with. his wife Rose, Their current Budapest address is as follows:
Lojos Weinstock
II Martirok UTJA 49
II En 2 Budapest, Hungary Telephone number 353=729
Since Weinstock's arrival in Hungary during the Summer of 1965, some of his actions have resulted in creating certain difficulties between himself and other former Americans residing in Hungary as well as in some of the other socialist - countries. For instance, a former American, John Vafiades, who resides in Prague, Czechoslovakia, and works for the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU), reported that Weinstock had bullied his way through and secured for himself an invita- tion as a honorary delegate from the United States to the Sixth Congress of the WFTU which had commenced in Warsaw, Poland, October 8, 1965, Weinstock also managed to have his wife accredited to this Congress as a special correspondent of "The Worker," an East Coast, United States, communist publication. This action on the part of Weinstock caused problems, both financially and otherwise, for Harry Yaris, another former American who resides in Warsaw, Poland, and is accredited there as the correspondent for "The Worker."
LOUIS AND ROSE WEINSTOCK, FORMER AMERICANS “sgater NOW PERMANENTLY RESIDING ΙΝ BUDAPEST, HUNGARY
In Budapest, itself, the Weinstocks have created additional problems. In the past, Grace Gardos, another former American and sister of Fred Blair, leading functionary of the Communist Party of Wisconsin, has been for a number of ‘years the official "The Worker" correspondent in Budapest. After Rose Weinstock arrived, she contended that she was to be "The Worker" correspondent and has been taking over Gardos' duties. Gardos has protested Weinstock's action and contends she has never received any official notice of her replace-~ ment or any communication from "The Worker” indicating that this was being planned. , :

FUNDS RECEIVED FROM "WORLD MARXIST REVIEW," OCTOBER , 1965 ᾿
ε΄.
᾿ During late October, 1965, discussions were held with staff mombers of the “World Marxist Review,” official theoretical organ of the international communist movenent, Prague, Czechoslovakia. At this time, a total of $798.00 from the "World Marxist Review" funds was turned over to a Communist Party, USA (CP, USA) representative ag royalties for articles composed by CP, USA members which had appeared . dn the magazine during 1965. The breakdown of the $798,00 dn royalty payments was &s follows: | :
To Hyman lamer, $60 for an article appearing in Issue #4, April, 1965, and $201 for an article appearing in Igsue #10, October, 1965;
To Gus Hall, $201 for an article appearing in issue #10, October, 1965; .
To Henry Winston, $135 for an article appearing dn Issue #10, Octoher, 1965; “Ὁ
To Claude Lightfoot, $201 tor an article appearing ' in Issue #10, October,.1965. -
μι " _ dn _addifion, upon instructions of Gus Hall, General: . ᾿ς ®ecretary, CP, USA, a request was made for reimbursement to
the CP, USA of the cost of mailing in the United States to
VIPs, college and university libraries, etc., of the "World Marxist Review." Previously, the "World Marxist Review" had xeimbursed the CP, USA for such. mailings through February,
1965, at a monthly rate of $330.40. Hall now wanted rein- bursement for the nine-month period, March through October’, . θοῦ, When this matter was initialiy raised in the financial office of the "World Marxist Review," representatives of that department indicated word had come down the line that there must be economy everywhere, As a result, these lesser officials δ΄ the magazine began applying this economy mechanically to all facets of their operation and efforts at the time were . unsuccessiul in getting the desired reinbursement for the | mailings although a number of hours were spent on discussing it. Later, during a meeting with G, P. ‘Frantsov, Editor~in- Chief of the magazine, the situation on the requested reim~ ὁ bursement was raised in strong terms. Frantsov was disturbed and aggravated by the financial office's refusal to honor |
these commitments to the CP, USA for mailing the magazine and

ART AND ESTHER SHIELDS, "THE WORKER" CORRESPONDENTS, €MOSCOY, USSR |
«It will be recalled that in early October, 1965, _ Gus Hall, General Secrotary of the Communist Party, USA | (CP, USA), advised it was time to replace Esther and Art
| Shields as "The Worker" correspotidents in Moscow, USSR,
with someone else. However, Hall stated that before |
he orderg their return, the Russians should be requested |
to arrange for the reemployment of Esther at the Tass News
Agency in New York City. Hall at the time indicated he was considering George Morris of "The Worker" as the | te Σ Shieldses* replacement in Moscow. | : ες ;
. Duxing late October and early November, 1965, the subject of the replacement of the Shieldses was raised . with Nikolai Υ, Mostovets, Head of the North and South American Section, International Department ,Central Conmittce, Comminist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), and with his Ὁ assistant, Igor Mikhailov, in Moscow, USSR. At this time, these individuals agreed to check into the possibility of Esther Shields' reemployment by the Tass News Agency should she be replaced as "The Worker" correspondent. These individuals further indicated that they had heard the rumor that Si Gerson was under consideration as the replacement | for the Shieldses. They then noted that they were not too. happy with such a prospect and stated "they don’t want anyone ΝΣ sent over who might write regarding the seanmy side of Soviet ; life.” At this polnt, it was made known to them that Hall ; had indicated that he was not considering Gerson but had George Morris in mind for the Shieldses' replacement. The Russians seemed pleased with this possibility.
During this same period, a brief meeting was held . with Art Shields in Moscow at which time the latter was Informed . the Party is considering his and his wife's return ‘to the United States and replacement as "The Worker" correspondents in the near future. At this time, Shiolds commented briefly on his Situation in Moscow as "The Worker" correspondent and noted © that there was a lack of leadership given him ‘by the paper in New York and that Jim Jackson never asks them for anything. He 1611 that he and Esther had a poor relationahip with "The Worker" editors in New York and that New York lacked an under-
| Standing and a sensitivity to the problems they have in Moscow.

The time for such call in the past has been 7:05 PM. The failure of the Soviets to receive the informant's confirmation telephone call undoubtedly is due to the fact that they had forgotten that they had requested that the call be made to the numbers scheduled for January and February and that they had monitored the number ‘scheduled for November and December. They probably also had been mistaken with respect to the time of the call which they had specified to be 7:30 PM, but which undoubtedly should have. been 7:05 PM.
The Chicago Office was telephonically advised of the above matter, and pursuent to instructions from CG 5824-S*, the Chicago Office requested that the New York Office make 8 - confirmation call to the telephone nuxber 744-9200 on the evening of 11/23/65 at both 7:05 PM and 7:30 PM to insure
that the Soviets receive a confirmation of the delivery of
the money. This is being done in view of NY 694~S*'s being hospitalized at the present time. .

5 DISCUSSIONS, OCTOBER, 1965, WITH A REPRESENTATIVS OF SECURITY BRANCH, CENTRAL COMMITTEE, COMMUNIST
PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION, IN MOSCOW RELATING TO COMMUNICATION APPARATUS WITH COMMUNIST PARTY, USA
During the latter part of October and early November, 1966, a representative of the Communist Party, USA (CP, USA) was in Moscow, USSR, for the specific purpose of carrying out official discussions with representatives of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) on matters of mutual interest. Throughout this period, the CP, USA representative was quartered in Room 517 of the Central Committee Hotel, Moscow, and at this location numerous meetings were held with him by CPSU representatives. Among the various meetings held at the hotel with CPSU representatives was one which occurred in late October, 1965, with Vladimir (last name unknown) of the Security Branch, Central Committee. Viadimir is a relatively young white male, tall, and of slender build. He bears some resemblance to the likeness one holds of Abraham Lincoln. In the past, Viadimir had met with this same CP, USA representative and also has in tha past met with Jack Brooks when that individual was in Moscow. One of Vladimir's tasks includes work with the apparatus for communication which has been established between the CPSU and the CP, USA. The specific purpose of this meeting was to discuss the current communication apparatus and problens relating to it. During the discussions which ensued, the following was learned:
According to Viadinir, commencing December, 1965, and for the first half or January, 1966, there will be no one availahle in New York City to carry out personal contacts with the CP, USA. The individual presently carrying out these personal contacts in New York City is returning to Moscow and his replacement will not be available until sometime in January, 1966. Vladimir gave no reason at this time for the replace- ment of the current Party contact in New York, and it was not mentioned who might be replacing this individual.
Viadimir then advised that the Security Branch definitely desires the CP, USA to cut down on the use of the "second channel" of communication which is boing utilized an New York. This channel of communication, one involving Isadore Needleman, should be used, according to Vladimir, only for less important or seml-oificial material or for long messages. 11 should not be used for short messages or for emergencies. He then noted in this connection that what might
en ies ‘ ΌΝ . Fook - “ so Gd dh ay SD ΖΦ: ἢ . ἢ = ' “ t ' oa ar
Φ | Φ Ἰ . 1 ‘
appear to be emergencies to the CP, USA are not necessarily emergencies to the CPSU. He added that messages concerning meetings, messages mentioning names of individuals, messages involving security, should not be sent through the "second channel" since from an overall point of view it cannot be considered secure. For the latter types of messages, the CP, USA should make use of the "girls," the radio communi- cation system establighed in New York City. ;
In connection with the selection of drop locations for future use, Vladimixy remarked that if they are going to be in the City of New York, they should be located in. outlying areas. Every effort should be made to avoid the area in New York City between 30th and 80th Streets for drop locations. For use as drops, he suggested the use of cans, boxes, ete. He noted that if after a period of time the continued use of outiying areas as drop location sites proves unsatisfactory, the Security Branch will give reconsideration to their in- structions. However, security and not "our" convenience should be the guiding factor in connection with these drops.
Viadinir emphasized that fuller utilization of broadcast equipment currently available in New York City should be made since it is the best means of communication. This equipment, he pointed out, could be used either from inside stores or from the street. In an emergency situation, Af communication is essential, calls can be placed twice a week by the use of walkie~talkies, :
Since at the beginning of December, 1965, and the first half of January, 1966, personal contact will be very difficult for the reason already noted, Vladimir suggested contact with them be kept at an absolute minimum during this period. If such contact is found to be essential in December, 1965, and early January, 1966, the CP, USA should make use of the "girlg," |
The question of the next delivery of money for the CP, USA was then raised with Vladimir. It wag noted at this time that the CPSU still had not delivered something over $200,000 of the amount which had been promised for 1965, When this was raised, Viadimir advised that Jack Brooks was being informed that November 18, 1965, was being suggested 85 the date for. the final delivery ofthis money and that Af this data was not satisfactory, an alternate data of November 23, 1965, was heing suggested.
Viadimir next noted that they were becoming a bit leery of the present methods being utilized for the delivery
-2- Ι
of funds from the CPSU to the CP, USA. The Security Branch feels the CP, USA should begin to give gome serious thought to the establishment of some sort of a legitimate business abroad through which future monies could be transmitted to the United States and then funneled to the Party. The Security Branch, he noted, cannot control all the currency which is being supplied to the Party and that it was entirely possible that the United States Selective Service, the FBI, or CIA may be treating certain portions of this currency with isotopes, If this 1s being done, Viadimir stated the Security Branch feels that the FBI, with the use of its | computers and other specialized equipment, might be able
to trace part of this money and establish an approximate figure of how much the CPSU spends here. .
. When the matter of considering the establishment of a legitimate business abroad was raised, a long discussion ensued, Tho CP, USA representative pointed out that: to establish such a business, it would involve many, many problems, First of all, it would have to set up a going business and one making considerable profit. It would have to be a legiti- mate business. Then, there would have to be a system worked out for the transfer of funds from this business to the United States and then to the Party. Also, there would be a matter of tax problems with the United States Government. Considerable time would have to be spent looking into these problems and resolving them, Although the CP, USA representative argued the feasibility of this suggestion but not its merit, Viadinir emphasized that this matter must at least be checked into very closely and given some gerious thought. It was finally agreed that thie matter would be taken up with Gus Hall, General Secretary of the CP, USA, upon the CP,USA representative's yeturn and subsequently some later discussions would be held
The discussion then shifted to Jack Brooks in New York. Vladimir advised they had received word from hin con- cerning his contemplated hospitalization and were anxious to know what was wrong. He said they had discussed Brooks and were ready to do anything necessary to help him and, if necessary, he could spend three months or moro in the Soviet Ynion. He stated they are ready to provide him with all necessary hospitalization and the best medical attention | available. If he desires, he could have a place at Sochi in the Crimea Zor his recovery. ‘They would make all necessary arrangements for this. it was pointed out that Brooks' problem was a correctible one and not serious although it would entail a considerable period of unavailability during which this CP, USA representative would handle his work in New York. Vladimir repeatedly emphasized that if there was anything at all they could do, they should be inforaed,
“4 an ine a = t
z . ἢ i
Vladimir then noted that |crooks should be told that "we appreciate his work and consider it excellent.
We consider Jack our best."
In discussions regarding possible new people for the apparatus, Vladimir suggested that such people not be introduced to them at this time. Sometime in the future they will request and make arrangements tc see these people who will then be considered as a reserve for
the apparatus,
Viadimir then commented, "You are supposed to be in charge of this apparatus" and it was: specifically for. your use that we set up this official channel of communica- tion between our Parties. At this time, however, we are becoming a little concerned over the uses to which your Party is putting you. Fox example, you attended a "public meeting" like that conference in Prague where you met hundreds of leading comrades. We look at ‘your role and become worried because your flame never appears. The Security Branch feels that in the future every effort must be ‘made by your Party to avold such activity that could jeopardize your more important role with us. The CP, USA representative agreed that the Security Branch was correct in raising this problem and that the matter would be dis- | cussed with Gus Hall in New York. .
The question was then raised concerning the ' re-establishment of soma new alternate channel of comnuni-~ cation with the CPSY through Mexico since, based on a decision made last year, the then existing channel was supposed to be discontinued. Vladimir promised that his department would look into ‘this immediately and some arrangements for such a channel would be set up that could operate as an alternate means of communication between the. CPSU and the CP, USA should present channels in New York be lost for some unforeseen reason. Hoe promised to furnish information on this new channel in the near future.

FIGHT AGAINST RACISM IN THE COMMUNIST PARTY, USA
It has been learned that a number of leading Negro members of the leadership of the Communist Party (CP), USA, have become increasingly concerned about what they consider evidences of racism in the CP, USA. Discussions on this subject have been heard in the recent past among the following individuals: Henry Winston, Vice-Chairman, CP, USA; Claude Lightfoot, Vice- Chairman, CP, USA; James Jackson, Editor of "The Worker" and a member of the Secretariat, CP, USA: and William Patterson, Chairman of the New York District and a member of the National Board, CP, USA.
These individuals, all Negroes, have taiked it over and have decided to open a fight against racism in the CP, UBA. μον have specifically objected to the fact that for many years now there has not been ἃ wingle case of expulsion of a member of the Party for white chauviniam. The Negroes in the Party do not belisve they have sufficient voice in the leadership of the Party and are going to demand higher positions and greater influence in the policies of the Party.

‘CANCELATION OF DEBTS OF Ni BRA BOOKS, NEW YORK CITY.
A number of months ago Phil Frankfeld of New Era Books, New York City, had met with a representative of Mezhdunarodnaja Kniga (MK), the official trade organization in the Soviet Union responsible for import-export of books, printed material, etc. At the time these discussions took | place, Frankfeld raised the matter concerning the possible cancelation of certain debts amounting to $2,725.00 duo MK. by New Era Books, From the disctissions, Frankfeld reported
that the NK representative was of the opinion that such a
cancelation of the debts could be made but that it would have to be placed in writing and taken up in Moscow, USSR. Based on this conversation, Frankfeid drew up a document
. getting forth the nature of the debts and the amount he
desired canceled and his basis for this request. He later turned over ‘the document to Gus Hall, General Becretary of the Communist Party, USA (CP, USA). , .
In early October, 1965, Hall instructed a repre~ sentative of the CP, USA who was scheduled to travel to the Soviet Union to take the matter of these debts up with MK in Moscow,
In late October, 1965, the matter concerning tho cancelation of New Era Books debts to MK was taken up with Nikolai V. Mostovets, Head of the North and South American Section, International Department, Central Committee, CP ‘eof the Soviet Union, and with his assistant, Igor Mikhailov. They were also provided with a copy of Frankfeld's original document on this subject. These individuals agreed to look into the matter and contact representatives of MK, |
In early November, 1965, Moatovets noted that con- . tact had been made with MK representatives in Moscow and that MK was ready to cancel New Era Books' debts; however, MK needed a more formal accounting regarding the debts. Therefore, when Frankfeld can provide WK with the bills and receipts for the various items which he desires canceled, MK will handle the matter,

BEATRICE SISKIND JOHNSON, "THE |
WORKER". CORRESPONDENT, HAVANA, CUBA
Several months ago Carl Winter, while traveling abroad, made contact with Beatrice Siskind Johnson, "The Worker" correspondent now assigned to Havana Cuba. During
‘her conversation with Winter, she had requested the Com- ‘munist Party, USA (CP, USA) to take up with the Socialist
Unity Party of Germany (SUPG) in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) certain matters which could be of assistance
‘to her, These included. the making of arrangements for the purchase of an automobile by her in the GDR, reissuance
oi her GDR passport in the name of Siskind Tather than Jobnson, and the like. When Winter returned to the United States, he informed Gus Hall, General Secretary, CP, USA, of his conversation with Johnson and Hall later instructed a CP, USA representative who was. scheduled to travel abroad to ‘take up the matters with officials of the SUPG,
In line with the above, an official communication directed to the SUPG was prepared by this ΟΡ, USA repre~ sentative when he was in Prague, Czechoslovakia, in early November, 1965. The message, when completed, was turned over to Mrs, (first name unknown) Berg, a member of the Central Committee, SUPG, who is assigned to the “World Marxist Review," official theoretical organ of the interna~ tional communist movement, Prague, Czechoslovakia. This
communication to the SUPG requested that Party to assist ' the CP, USA in the following matters regarding Johnson:
First, the SUPG was requested to assist Jobngon in locating and purchasing a small car in the GDR with GDR marks that Johnson then possessed and, in addition, assist her in getting this car to Cuba. It was noted in the com- munication that Johnson needed such an automoblie to effectively
carry out her responsibilities as a correspondent. Secondly,
4t was requested that the records concerning Johnson's GOR citizenship be changed to reflect her name ag Beatrice Siskind and not as Beatrice Johnson. Thirdly, it was requested that
her present passport issued in the name of Johnson be changed
and made out in the name of Siskind.
| In regard to the latter two requests made of the SUPG, and particularly that regarding her passport, they were made "by Johnson because she felt that this would facilitate her travel] throughout Latin America because under the Johnson name she had become too well known to intelligence agencies.

After the foregoing communication was prepared and sent to the SUPG, another communication was prepared and sent to
Beatrice Johnson in Cuba. In ‘this ‘letter, she was advised »
that her earlier requests mado through Winter had been noted and taken up with the SUPG. She was also told that
' she probably would be hearing’ on these matters Shortly.
in addition, in this same letter Jobnson was asked if she could prepare an article for publication in the CP, USA press dealing with the methods which had ‘been
utilized in Cuba for successfully solving the Negro question
there, In thig same letter, she was also requested to locate
and transmit to Claude Lightfoot, leading functionary of the
CP of Iliinois and Chairman of the CP, USA Negro Commission, all official material dealing with. the Negro question in Cuba and its golution. This material for Lightfoot was to be sent to Lightfoot in care of 36 West Randolph Street, Chicago, Illinois, offices of the CP of Tllinois.
In addition to the above, Johnson was informed that if she desired ‘to communicate with this CP, USA repre- sentative, she could write to their mutual friend in Chicago, Mollie West, and the latter would forward all material to him immediately. It Was aiso m-

NEGOTIATIONS FOR GIFT OF POLISH STALLION FOR GUS HALL, GENERAL SECRETARY, COMMUNIST PARTY, USA, FROM POLAND
It will be recalled that for a number of months Gus Halil, General Secretary of the Communist Party, USA (CP, USA), has had negotiations carried on with the Poles conesrning thelr sending a purebred Arabian stallion, byed and raised in Poland, as a gift to the CP, USA. However, as of October, 1965, these negotiations had failed to produce the stallion desired by Hall and he now instructed that this matter be taken up by a CP, USA representative with Polish officials abroad,
As a result, a CP, USA representative, when in Hoscow, USSR, during late October, 1965, in his first meeting with representatives of tha North and South American Section, International Department, Central Committee, Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), made it known that he desired a trip to Warsaw, Poland, for the purpose of carrying on somo business discussions with representatives of the Polish United Workers Party (PUWP). The specific nature of the desired business discussions with the Poles ‘was not make known to the Russiang at this time. While these representatives of the International Department, namely, Nikolai ¥. Mostovets, Head of tho North and South American Section, and his assistant, Igor Mikhailov, did not look with fayor on the idea of such a trip to Poland, they did agree to contact the Polish Embassy in Moscow . ΄ to see what arrangements could be made.
During early November, 1965, the International
Department, Central Committees, received word from the | Polish Embassy in Moscow indicating that the Polish Ambassador would meet the CP, USA representative. Through the cooperation Of the representatives of the International Department, the
, CP, USA representative was taken to the Polish Embassy where
| he was net and.greeted by Ambassador (firat name unknown)
Kuzba, The Polish Ambassador and the CP, USA representative, it developed, were old friends and had met previously. During conversation with Anbassador Kuzba, tho CP, USA representative informed him that the CP, USA had been negotiating over a long period of timo for the gift of a purebred Arabian stallion from Poland;that the PUWP had promised such a stallion but had done nothing to carry through on this and all correspondenco from the CP, USA "δὰ been ignored. It was noted that Comrade Hall was tired of such treatment and had roquested that if nothing could be dons immediately, that the entire transaction be forgotten. Ambassador Kuzba requested he be allowed to check into this matter and that perhaps he could settle the problem

ὟΝ
Π “ΠῚ avi we
Two days following the above meeting with Ambassador Kuzba, Mostovets oi the International Department, Central οι" nittee, CP5U, contacted the CP, USA representative and in- formed him that the Ambassador had called and desired to see him immediately at the Polish Embassy. Upon arrival at the Embassy, the CP, USA representative was met by the Ambassador who said, "I have good news from Warsaw. I got a horse for Comrade Hall." The Ambassador stated that the stallion would be ready any time that Comrade Hall. could send someone to Warsaw to make arrangenents to transport it to the United States. He suggested that when Hall was prepared to send someone to Warsaw, information on these individuals be sent through channels to Moscow and they would see to it that it got to Warsaw. He urged that there be no discussion on this matter held with the "Chicago people, as we do not trust these people with confidential things." By his remark concerning the "Chicago people," it was obvious Kuzba was referring to the Polish Consulate in Chicago since later he advised that after receiving Hall's message as to who would be traveling to Warsaw, they would advise Washington and Chicago to have visas available for these individuals" travel. However, when theae people apply and pick up their visas at either Chicago or Washington, they should not give the purpose of their trip and only advise that they are traveling on business. He then. noted that when they arrive in Warsaw to pick up the horse for Hall, they should contact. the Foreign Minister of Trade, Witold Trampezynski, who handled this. transaction and knows all of the detaiis. |
On November 13, 1965, Gus Hall was informed of the promise of availability of the desired Arabian stallion by the Poles and that Hail could send someone at any time he desired to Warsaw to make transportation arrangements for this
horse back to the United States. Hall stated he would probably
send two people, a nephew from Minnesota, and Isadore Needleman, Needleman, he suggested, would go along in order to insure that all papers were properly filled out. Hall was also informed at this time of the procedures to be utilized in securing the necessary visas as well as to the identity of the individual
to be contacted in Warsaw.

Set forth herein for the information of the Bureau is a brief outline of the 19th Solo mission recently completed by CG 5824-S* which commenced 10/19/65 and ended 11/12/65. This outline is being furnished to explain why the reports of ‘the results of this mission are lacking their usual detail and are more limited in scope than in the past.
The primary purpose of CG 5824-S*'s trip to the USSR ' was to negotiate the annual subsidy of the Communist Party (CP), USA by the CP of ‘the Soviet Union (CPSU). Also CG 5824-S* was given a number of additional tasks to perform for the CP, ᾿ USA, As a result, this latest Solo mission is somewhat unique dn that CG 5824-S* devoted himself almost exclusively to inner- Party tasks which tended to limit his opportunities to collect intelligence information.
CG 5824-S* left New York City on 10/19/65, traveling via London and Amsterdam and arrived in Prague, Czechoslovakia date on 10/20/65, From 10/21 to 23/65 he attended the symposium
sponsored jointly ‘by the CP of Czechoslovakia (CPCZ) μὰ the "World Marxist Review" ("WMR"), Although in Prague for the whole conference, CG 5824-S* was frequently. called away for meetings with individuals from the "WMR" relative to article desired, payments for articles already printed, etc. Conse- quently, CG 5824-S*'s coverage of the symposium was rather :

conference either have been or are being made public in full.
The night before the end of the symposium a reception for the delegates was held at the Presidential Palace and on that oc- casion CG 5824-S* engaged in a one hour discussion with ANTONIN NOVOTNY, President of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and First Secretary of the CPCZ, During this period in Czechoslovakia, CG 5824-S* met with leaders of the CPCZ such as VLADIMIR KOUCKY, Secretary of the Central Committee (CC), CPCZ and a member of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic Assemlly; FRANTISEK KOPTA and (FNU) ‘-HAVALCHUK (phonetic), both of the International Department, CC, CPCZ; and with representatives of the ‘WMR", such as G, FRANTZOV,, Editor-In-Chief and a member of the CC, CPSU; ALESANDER SOBOLEV, Executive Secretary of the "WMR' and (FNU) SHARIF of the "WMR."
CG 3824-S* left Prague and arrived in Moscow, USSR, on 10/25/65. Following the usual protocol visits by some of his contacts in the CPSU ‘leadership, CG 5824-S* then secluded himself 4n his room and spent until 10/29/65 preparing what we would probably characterize as a "letter of justification" for the CP, USA request for their 1966 subsidy. This was a largely fictitious justification for a request of $2,040,000. This was an extremely lengthy docu- ment, rewritten numerous times to insure a proper Marxist-Leninist interpretation of events.
10/30 and 31/65 were the weekend and little could be accomplished in the way of official meetings at that time. However, αἱ was during this time that CG 5824-S* renewed his contacts with TIMUR TIMOFEEV and with ALEKSEI A, GRECHUKHIN, formerly in the International Department, CC, CPSU, both of whose homes he visited. On 11/1 and 2/65 CG 5824-S* was in contact with various communist Jeaders arriving in Moscow for the 11/7/65 celebration, many of whom had previously attended the symposium. in Prague.
‘Meetings with MIKHAIL SUSLOV, BORIS PONOMAREV, NIKOLAI MOSTOVETS, VITALY KORIANOV and IGOR MIKHAILOV occupied CG 5824~S*' during the period 11/3-5/65. These were primarily political dis- cussions and meetings concerned with the funds requested by the CP, USA.
CG 5824-5* departed Moscow on 11/6/65 for Prague and
from then until 11/9/65 was in discussions with people at the"WMR", with members of the CPCZ leadership and with certain other individuals

in Prague such as JOHN VAFIADES of the World Federation of Trade Unionists, He exited from Prague, Czechoslovakia on 11/10/65 and traveling via Zurich, Switzerland and London, England, he arrived at Boston on 11/12/65,
The informant undertook this mission already in ill | health in view of the heavy work pressures prior to his departure. In view of the rigors of the Solo mission CG 5824-S* returned to the United States with many of his physical ailments more seriously aggravated, Upon his return to Chicago CG 5824-5* was finally forced by sheer physical exhaustion and the recur- rence of his back and heart troubles to go to bed and remain there.
As a result of the above our contacts with CG 5824-5* have been extremely limited, He was personally contacted while in travel status on 11/12, 13 and 14765 and telephonically each day thereafter. However, these contacts have been .% isi +. of short duration, Consequently, we have gotten the most important information from him and brief statements concerning other less important matters, but have had no _Tengthy detailed debriefing sessions, NY 694~S* entered the hospital for surgery on 11/22/65 and may be incapacitated for up to six weeks. Despite his physical condition CG 5824-3 is holding himself in readiness to fulfill the responsibilities of the apparatus in New York City should the néed arise, Furthermore, in view of his brother's hospitalization CG 5824-S* advised that he feels it is incumbent upon him to be present ἴῃ New York City when NY 694-S* is actually operated upon and for a period thereafter, Therefore, he is flying to New York City early on 11/26/65, the day of NY 694~ S*'s operation and expects to remain there at least four days.
In view of the above, additional debriefing of CG 5824-S* will be further delayed. We are remaining alert to the need of the Bureau to receive this information as completely and as quickly as possible and will conclude the debriefing of the informant just as seon as circumstances permit.

INTEREST IN U. S. EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM ‘EXPRESSED BY ANTONIN NOVOTNY, PRESIDENT OF CZECHOSLOVAK SOCIALIST REPUBLIC ὁ .
During November, 1965, a source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, advised as follows:
During late October, 1965, Antonin Novotny, President of Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, and First Secretary of the Communist
Party of Czechoslovakia (CPCZ), was observed in discussion with Claude
Lightfoot, a Vice-Chairman of the Communist Party (CP), USA, then in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Novotny expressed great interest in the educational system in the United States and the American youth situation in general. Novotny. related that sometime ago a young woman from Czechoslovakia was permitted to travel to the United States to study at the University of California. Upon her return she reported con- cerning the educational system in the United States. She stated that in the universities of the United States there are thousands of Students for each professor and everything about the system is very impersonal, As a result there is a great amount of discontent and rebelliousness among the young students. This general discontent
among youth is also evident in the ranks of Negro youth who have invol-
ved themselves in.a meaningful way in the Negro freedom movement in the
United States. ‘Novotny asked if these things were true. Lightfoot
andicated that in-general this young woman's comments were in fact true.

” CURRENT STATUS OF LEADERSHIP
IN THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION |
During November, 1965, a source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, advised as follows:
The dual leadership or collective which rules the USSR remains an uneasy alliance. The struggle for power con- tinues and may only be resolved finally at the XXIII Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) in ‘the spring of 1966, However, there have been definite trends which can be defined and which indicate the dominant group in the leadership of the CPSU and the government of the USSR at the present time.
It appears that the "old timers" in the leadership have consolidated their group and have attracted to them a few
of the younger leaders such as Dmitri S, Polyansky and Kiril T, Mazurov, both members of the Presidium of ‘the Central Committee (CC), CPSU. This group, which is now the dominant group, includes the following: onid I ev, First Secretary of the CPSU and a Deputy of the USSR Council of Ministers; Premier Alexei N. Kosygin, Chairman of the USSR Counci] of Ministers, (who aligns mself with this group with hesitations); Nikolai: V, Podgorny , member of the Presidium of the CC, CPSU: Ἡ of the Presidium and a secretary of the CC, ‘CPSU; and’ Anastas Τὶ Mikoyan, Chairman of the Presidium of the Suprene Soviet of the USSR. As their assistants they are .using Polyansky and Mazurov and have now brought into this group Aleksandr Κ΄ Shelepin, a Secretary of the CC, CPSU. Shelepin has been pretty well surrounded and does not have the control that -he had wanted,

|
RE: CURRENT STATUS OF a _ LEADERSHIP IN THE CPSU a
This dominant group has beaten back the bid for greater power by the more anbitious younger group who had advocated a return to the “hard line" pro-Stalinist policies, This group was formerly led by Sh d by Vl
Semichastny, successor to Shelepin as head of the secret police,
Brezhnev has now reasserted his authority and at
present appears to be in control, Susloyv appears once arain to have became more dominant and in authority I8 behind only Brezhnev and Kosyfin,. uSlov is a Smart politician and has now become a "liberal" for political reasons,
This realignment has resulted from ‘the severe adverse reaction among leading people in the CPSU and among the masses of the Soviet people when there was talk of a return to the. "old days" under Stalin. Leaders like Kosygin and Suslov do not want to become so unpopular in the Party and with the people that their positions will be jeopardized. As a result this dominant group is trying to pacify the Soviet people who are chafing under the results of a crop failure caused by the bad weather, It is said that the mood of the Soviet people, especially the young people, is rather accurately reflected in the poem currently being circulated in the USSR entitled "Letter to Yesenin" by the young Russian poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko, which expresses rebellion against authoritarian excesses,
At least one high official in the USSR has counseled that other parties which favor a policy of peaceful coexistence in their contacts with the CPSU should reaffirm the principles | of the XX-and XXII Congresses of the CPSU, disowiing Stalinism and supporting the ‘possibility of two paths to socialism. This would help to bridle some of the “war makers" in the USSR who at one time were in favor of accepting the line.advocated by the Communist Party of China.

CONTEMPLATED ESTABLISHMENT OF A
NEW. DEPARTMENT IN THE. COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION FOR INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AMONG ALL COMMUNIST PARTIES
During November, 1965, a source, who has furnished
reliable information in the past, advised as follows:
It was learned that as of early November, 1965, the Presidium of the Central Committee (CC) of the Communist Party
of the Sovict Union (CPSU) had decided to set up a new ‘tion within the CPSU. This will be an organization as
the CPSU whose purpose will be to keep close ties with every
Communist and Workers Party throughout the world. The afraid of the consequences if the present split within communist movement continues and something is not done
to establish
closer relations on a Party-to-Party basis such as through some organization which would call international conferences, etc. Therefore, the CPSUwishes to set up this special department which Will handle the most important task of trying to hold Parties to- gether and improving Party-to-Party relations, not just CPSU to other Party relations, but the relations of all Parties to one another. The practical result of the work of this inner-CPSU organization would be that all Parties could get together and discuss Party problems and international‘iproblems. This could. lay the basis for a future international organization; it would be an embryo that could eventually become another Comintern. Actually the CPSU would view this department as a Comintern in
miniature for the Party.
ENCLOSURE

At this time, the leading candidate for the post of the head of this department is Timur Timofeev, Assistant Director of the Institute of World’ Economy .and International Relations, USSR Academy of Sciences, Moscow, USSR. Timofeev has now received. his. doctorate and, has been accepted into the USSR Academy of Sciences as a candidate member, <A recent indication that the CPSU has Timofeev in mind for important things in the future was ‘that αὖ the Moscow celebration of the 30th Anniversary of ‘the 7th Congress of the Comintern, Timofeev was chosen to make an important speech on the same platform with Boris N. Ponomarev, a secretary of the CC, CPSU. It is believed ‘that Timofeev is as good as sdected although no appointments. have yet been made by the Presidium. Timofeev was inforned in an ‘unofficial manner about this new organization and his ‘possible selection to get it by Mikhail Suslov, a member of the ‘Presidium and a secretary of the CC, CPSU. It is known that Timofeev is already interviewing people whom.he wants on his staff.
There is one possible obstacle_to Timofeev's selection
